"""ytdlp-worker.py - one long-lived yt-dlp process answering many requests.
Spawning yt-dlp per call pays Python start-up + extractor import every time.
This worker imports yt_dlp ONCE and runs each request's argv in-process
through the CLI's own entry point (yt_dlp._real_main), so config files such
as /etc/yt-dlp.conf and everything else the command line sets up apply.
Protocol (newline-delimited JSON):
stdin : {"id": <int>, "args": [<yt-dlp argv>...]}
stdout: {"id": <int>, "code": <int>, "out": "<captured stdout>", "err": "<stderr tail>"}
Only for calls whose result is printed to stdout (-J, --dump-json, --version).
Usage: python3 ytdlp-worker.py <path-to-yt-dlp-zipapp-or-empty>
